Repeater Functionality in WeatherLink

WeatherLink software lets you configure and maintain the network or repeaters and sta-
tions in the same way that the console is configured. WeatherLink also monitors the bat-
tery life of all transmitters and repeaters in the network.
Note: If your network of transmitters and repeaters is communicating with an Envoy, WeatherLink is the
only way the repeater and transmitter information is configured on the Envoy. If your Envoy has
firmware older than May 2005, it does not have the capability to see and configure Vantage Pro2
wireless repeaters. To check your Envoy's firmware in WeatherLink, Select Console Diagnostics
from the Reports Menu and view the firmware date displayed. If the Envoy firmware version is older
than May 2005, a Vantage Pro2 updater can be used to update the Envoy. Contact Technical Sup-
port about acquiring an updater for your Envoy.
Only versions of WeatherLink 5.6 or later have the capabilities necessary to configure
and monitor repeater use.
Configuring Repeaters
With a console or Envoy connected to your computer via serial or USB data logger:
1. Select Set Transceiver from the Setup Menu. The Set Transceivers dialog box
displays
2. Click the Enable Repeaters check box. The Repeater drop down boxes are enabled
for the available stations.
